Hmmm..., There is a tiny bit of new classical vinyl being released. Tacet has been releasing some very good orchestral and chamber recordings; the Beethoven symphony series with Wojcech Rajski conducting the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra is well worth hearing. Classic Records has been doing a small series with Pavel Kogan and the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra. Fone has been releasing some new classical recordings on vinyl in limited quantity.

" there is no new classical vinyl nor has there been for many years."

Kal, thanks but you made an absolute statement which simply was not true. New classical recordings are in fact being made and released on vinyl; I'm enjoying a number of them, they are quite good, and I'm hoping to see more. I agree the numbers of titles are exceedingly few.

I do like your tongue in cheek observations that these LPs are not multchannel, however. :-)
